Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The third quarter of the game is gradually coming to an end, but the SuperSonics are still behind the Orlando Magic by more than five points. No matter how hard Kevin Durant tries, he cannot make the point difference continue to narrow. This is not entirely a question of ability or talent.  It's because Kevin Durant can only perform by himself and cannot mobilize the capabilities of the entire team.

    This is not the case with Stephen. Although he cannot fully utilize the combat effectiveness of the entire team like a super point guard, he can use his super personal ability to create enough threats and then drive the team forward together.  Stephen's young and mature character is also very charming among this group of young people. Even Russell Westbrook has been hanging out with Stephen more recently, unlike before, blindly following Kevin  Durant.

    Kalesi couldn't help but look at Stephen, and Stephen no longer hesitated and stood up without hesitation. He could not let the opponent continue to lead like this, otherwise the opponent would become more and more confident in winning the game.  Their three-point touch exploded again, and this game was difficult to play, so Stephen immediately stepped up and replaced Kevin Durant. At the same time, Carlesimo also replaced Jarrett with Earl Watson.  Jack.

    Seeing Stephen walking to the sidelines, Kevin Durant knew that his efforts during this period have not been effective and the team has no patience. This is normal. If he can lead the team to overtake the score,  Then leading all the way, maybe Stephen won't play, but since he couldn't finish it, he had to let Stephen play.

    However, according to the previous rotation rules, Stephen would only replace others and not himself. But now he has replaced himself. He should have seen that he was playing too hard and was too tired.  , so give yourself a few minutes to rest.

    This is also normal. Kevin Durant did feel a little tired. With his status, he didn't have to worry about any pressure, so he returned to the court to rest with peace of mind.

    Seeing Stephen back on the court, the Orlando Magic immediately heightened their vigilance. This guy is no ordinary person. If Stephen was just a capable first-class star with the San Antonio Spurs, then after arriving with the Seattle SuperSonics,  He is already a standard top star, especially his scoring ability, which is unmatched by anyone in the league. However, after the finals, except for occasional small outbursts, Stephen usually organizes the team.  Lord.

    But even so, after playing two games, Stephen not only scored a triple-double, but also scored more than 40 points in each game. This is ability. He can score 40 points without exerting his full strength. He has to  Said that the Orlando Magic put too little defensive pressure on Stephen.

    But Stephen who doesn't perform at his best makes people even more frightened, just like a tiger waiting for an opportunity to attack. Who dares to relax his vigilance, even if he is in the lead, is so uneasy. It's okay for Stephen to sit off the court, he  Even if his scoring ability is strong, he can't perform it well when sitting off the court, but once he returns to the court, it will be much scarier.

    So as soon as Stephen returned to the court, the Magic team was a little panicked. Stephen took advantage of this opportunity unceremoniously and completed the steal from Courtney Lee. Although the fast break did not start, it caused Courtney  Lee's foul and all two free throws were made.

    This alone narrowed the point difference to five points. After coming back, under Stephen's defense, Hedo Turkoglu failed to find opportunities to attack several times. Even passing the ball was slower than facing Kevin Durant.  It was much more difficult. You must know that Stephen is quite a bit behind him in terms of height, but he keeps shaking his arms and blocking his passing route. He can pass to other people, but those who can pass the ball  The chances are not very good.

    Stephen's appearance not only brought panic to the Odo Magic team, but also brought confidence to his teammates. After Hedo Turkoglu barely missed a shot, Stephen came back and assisted Earl Watson to hit a three-pointer.  points, helping the team narrow the point difference to two points again.

    The Arcane team was obviously a little anxious, but the more anxious it was, the worse it felt. This opportunity was good, but Rashard Lewis's shot went too far. Although Courtney Lee grabbed an offensive rebound, the counterattack was defeated by Stephen  Blocked, and Stephen started very quickly. Before he could react, he reached out and took the ball out of his hand.

    After grabbing the ball, Stephen threw it directly to Russell Westbrook, who had already rushed to the basket. Russell Westbrook received the ball and went straight to the layup without stopping, but his shot was slightly stronger.  It was a little bigger, and the ball rolled on the basket for a long time before falling down, earning Stephen an assist.

    The scores of both sides were evened, but there was less than thirty seconds left in the third quarter. Basically, both sides had an opportunity to attack.??Van Gundy attached great importance to this offensive opportunity and specifically called a timeout. After the timeout, the Orlando Magic played their most accustomed tactics, and then Rashard Lewis scored from a three-pointer, leaving only the SuperSonics.  Less than seven seconds of attack time.

    However, the seven-second attack time was completely enough for the Sonics. The ball passed back and forth between the three people's hands, and finally returned to Stephen's hands. When Stephen made the ball from beyond the three-point line, the ball was  The third quarter of the game just ended.

    The two sides entered the break with a draw. Although it turned from a lead to a draw, the Orlando Magic were not dissatisfied. They were very satisfied with the draw. You must know that at this time in the first two games, they had already  They were 20 points behind, and this time it was just a draw, which already gave them a lot of confidence.

    The game started quickly in the fourth quarter. At this time, the Orlando Magic made adjustments again, replacing Courtney Lee with Michael Pietrus. After all, Michael Pietrus' defense was better, and Rafe Alston assisted in defense.  This is how the Orlando Magic dealt with Steph, and while it wasn't very effective, it was the best they could do.

    Because Hidu Turkoglu can't move, he can only find a way on the back line, and they only have two players with defensive ability on the back line, but Michael Pietrus's defensive ability is actually only  Well, there is no tiger or monkey king in the Magic team. Looking at the entire league, even in terms of full-time defensive players, he can't even make the top ten, let alone compare with Shane Battier and Bruce Bowen.  , Tai'an Sharplins and other people compared.

    Even with the addition of Rafe Alston, it was still not enough to stop Stephen, but just like the previous game, after equalizing the score, Stephen took fewer shots of his own. After the fourth quarter started, first  Assisted Yao Ming to score a hook shot, putting the team ahead of the opponent. He then blocked Hedo Turkoglu's shot and teamed up with Russell Westbrook to launch a fast break and had an alley-oop dunk.

    After coming back, although Rashard Lewis missed a shot, Dwight Howard scored a tip-in, but as soon as he came over, Stephen assisted Earl Watson for a three-pointer.

    Although the Sonics failed in two consecutive attacks, the Magic only succeeded once. Then Stephen personally opened the situation and scored five points in one fell swoop, widening the point difference.  Assisted Yao Ming to attack the basket. Dwight Howard had no choice but to foul Yao Ming, but Yao Ming was not as bad as his free throw shooting rate and made all four free throws.

    Stephen's personal score at this time has reached 34 points, but he only has eight rebounds and seven assists, and he has as many as five steals. But coincidentally, within one round, he actually got two first-half assists.  In rebounds, he took the lead in double figures, and he assisted Russell Westbrook for a layup.

    At this time, Kevin Durant came on the court to replace Russell Westbrook. After rest and adjustment, Kevin Durant's touch has recovered. Especially when Stephen is on the court, he does not need to bear too much responsibility.  There were too many unnecessary responsibilities, and the shooting percentage was very good. He scored two consecutive shots after receiving passes from Stephen. He only missed one and made another three-pointer, and also got three assists for Stephen.

    Since the point difference was never widened, the Magic never gave up the game. With Stephen's last layup, the Seattle SuperSonics defeated Orlando 126-115.  The Magic won the third game of the Finals, leading their opponents by a score of 3 to 0 in the series. Stephen once again scored 41 points, 11 rebounds, 13 assists, six steals and two blocks.  Super luxurious data, and the first three consecutive triple-doubles in the finals.
